Garden Style Turkey Meatloaf
1 1/2 lbs. lean ground turkey
1 10 oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained OR 1/2 c. finely chopped red or green pepper
1 c. quick cooking oats
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
1/2 c. shredded carrots
2 egg whites or 1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 c. skim milk
1 1/2 t. Italian seasoning
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. black pepper
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl; mix lightly. Shape meatloaf mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 for about 1 hour. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing .
I like it plain, but if you like gravy with your meat, you can add some no-fat/low fat gravy. Without the gravy, a serving of 1/8 of the meatloaf is about 150 calories.
Makes great leftover sandwiches! (Remember to use healthy whole grain bread.)
